A large English population of the temperate tuberous Greater Butterfly-orchid, Platanthera chlorantha, was monitored through a 16-year period. Each June number flowering plants counted and 60 were measured in situ for four morphological traits, selected both ease measurement their contrasting contributions to life history species. Trait data tested annually pairwise combinations individual plants, before mean values throughout study period regressed cross-correlated against each other local meteorological parameters.

A study on the pollination of Ophrys fuciflora (Orchidaceae), which is not a native orchid Japan, was carried out in botanical garden where flowers attracted solitary bee, Eucera nipponensis. Six male bees were observed visiting over period 8 h. The pollinia O. became attached to these and four successfully transferred stigmas nearby flowers. present verifies that species can attract pollinators at least 8,700 km far from their natural habitat. Thus, it likely could potentially extend distribution by forming new alliances with other bees.
